Three Reasons Why Manufacturers Should Work With Secondary Sourcing Partners
These secondary sourcing partners might only be temporary or assume small roles in regular production, but the advantages manufacturers realize from having a reliable backup readily available are substantial
Taking an Independent Path: Strategies for Low Risk Sourcing of Components in a Constrained Market
Industry looks to independent distributors to address chronic shortages in the availability of electronic components.
Flexible Shafts in Aerospace Applications
An argument can be made for the flexible shaft being one of the backbones of the aerospace industry, and it isnt difficult to see why. From windshield wipers to TRAS systems to jet afterburners, flexible shafts are there ...
3D Printing: Cutting Edge Technology for the Circular Economy
The useful life of a machine should not be dictated by the availability of a single part and this is now no longer the case with the application of 3D printing. The rise of the circular economy has led to a new way to fix things.
How to Curb the Effects of Vibration on Mechanical Components
A vibration isolator functions as a harmonic oscillator. The wire rope acts as a damping element to dissipate vibrational energy. While it is not possible to eliminate vibrations entirely, an isolator diminishes transmissibility to a large extent.
Hose Failure Can Halt the Manufacturing Process … Don't Let It Happen
Preventative maintenance can have far-reaching effects, so take the necessary steps. Dont let something as small as a hydraulic hose failure cost your factory a sizable sum.
